Wolters Kluwer today reports that it has repurchased 328,265 of its own ordinary shares in the period from December 5, 2019, up to and including December 11, 2019, for €21.1 million and at an average share price of €64.13.

These repurchases are part of the share buyback program originally announced on February 20, 2019, under which we intended to repurchase shares for up to €250 million during 2019. On November 1, 2019, this program for 2019 was subsequently expanded by €100 million to €350 million.

The cumulative amounts repurchased to date under this program are as follows:

For the period starting November 4, 2019, up to and including December 27, 2019, we have engaged a third party to execute €160 million of buybacks on our behalf, within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular Regulation (EU) 596/2014) and the company’s Articles of Association.

Repurchased shares are added to and held as treasury shares and will be used for capital reduction purposes or to meet obligations arising from share-based incentive plans.
